 NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
 Mrs D. F. Bowers, the eminent tragic actress, supported by Joseph Wheelock and her own company. will this evening begin an engagement at the New Haven Opera House in " Elizabeth; Tomorrow evening she will appear in Edmund Falconer's version of 'tMary Stuart" Wednesday afternoon stIady Audley's Secret" and on Wednesday evening Macbeth" will be produced. An exchange says: Her work in the stronger scenes of Mary Stuart and Elizabeth is very great. She has 8 powerful voice, with compass and depth, and it is also able te fully express either tenderness or pathos; it is thoroughly under her control and she never misses her desired effect by making demands upon it to which it is unable to respond. She never mistakes as so many of our unhedged actresses do, whining for pathos, and she never offends the ears of her audience by rant and fury.

The Seyth1a at Her Pier.

BosToN, April 3.-The Cunard steamer Scythia arrived at her pier this evening at 5 o'clock. Captain Roberts of the Scythia WAS greatly surprised when informed of the ex- citement over the rumored loss of the ship. The gale and snow storm of Friday and Sat- urday was about the severest the captain ever experienced on the coast and when about thirty-two miles southwest of Cape Cod he saw it would not be prudent to con- tinue on the course until the storm abated. He therefore turned about and steamed at half-speed about fifty eight miles to the eastward until the weather cleared up. There was nothing unusual in this course The steamer carried s09 passengers in the steerage, seventeen intermediate and one cabin. The vessel is not damaged in the least.

SUMmERFIELD CHURCH,
Farewell Sermon of Rev. MT. Mead Ferty-Three Years of Serviee-Pre, nerftV and KTeaIth

Farewell Sermon of Rev. MT. Mead Ferty-Three Years of Service-Pres. per1ty and Health.
 Rev. Alexander H. Mead, for the past year pastor of the Summerfeld M. E. church
 on Dixwen avenue, preached his farewell ser
 mon last evening, completing his forty-third
 year in the ministry of the M. E. church.
 Before announcing his text he said it was his
 principle always not to leave the indebted
 ness of current expenses for his successor to meet. Though this year was burdened with the deficiencies of last year, twenty-five dol lars would clear up all expenses and leave some in the treasury. Nineteen of it was pledged in a few moments and the collection made up the balance. MT. Mead preached from Deut. x1xii, ', Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations, etc." His discourse was of necessity ot a personal nature, the main topic being crises in life. He described the early days of Methodism, the love feasts, the class meet ings, etc., as they were when he was 8 boy. MT. Mead graduated from Wesleyan in 1S42 and entered the ministry in 1S43, being an the conference in 1846. He began his work in the flood tide of Methodist life and has proved an earnest and effective worker in the cause. The church which he leaves re- gret the loss of one whom all loved. During his long service MT. Mead has not lost time on account of ill health and retires now on account of the illness of his wife. His resi- dence will be with his daughter, Mrs. Edwin R. Ives, at Meriden.

 Eight Thousand Carpenters On Strike.

The re- ports of the committees appointed to ascer- tain the attitude of the losses toward com- plying with the demand showed that ninety bosses were willing to accede and fit seven firmly refused, while seventy nine were doubtful. The result was disappointment as it was expected that half of the bosses would grant the concessions asked. During the progress of the meeting Paul Grottkan walked up to the door of the hall but was peremptorily refused admittance. This greatly infuriated him and he proceeded to deliver one of his characteristic harangues to the crowd on the sidewalk

Medical Graduate Missing.

MONTREAL, April 3.-Albert Holmer, g graduate of medicine, went out for sleigh ride with two fellow graduates of McGill about ten days ago. In the afternoon of the same day they passed successfully their final examinations for the degree of "M. D., |" and after driving six or seven miles were return ing to the city and stopped at a wayside ho- tel for refreshments. Holmer indulged to excess and went outside as it was thought only for a moment, but did not return. AL though large reward has been offered by his father, rich merchant in Brantford, Ont and persistent search for him has been in progress by detectives, not the least clue to what has become of him has been ob- tained. While in the bar of the hotel he exhibited large sum in bank bills which he had drawn out of bank on a check he had received from his father. There are fears that he has met with foul play.

Henry George Is a wiser man than he was year
ego. His first effort, in founding his new party,
was To appease lot OF malcontentS who huddled
together under The banner OF one or another
'rsm" and who received his advances with every
marx or cordiality as long as they were not re-
quired to do anything themselves, but began to
discover flaws In bis policy by the hundred when
ever IL was suggested that II was their turn to
make some concessions He allowed these men to
Use his and train under the protection OF his
personal re5pectability Till the citizens OF New
York decided that they did not want any OF that
kind or mongrel combination to get possession OF
their municipal Offices. This year Mr. George
made no advances but let them all come from
the other side. The socialists, who comprise the
largest body OF malcontents and give general
name TO the rest, insisted, however, upon pushing
their way into the convention at syracuse after
being informed that they were not wanted. When
they were snuo0ed and sat upon, they got angry
at once. They have accordingly denounced the
George mashine" and talk or nominating John
Swinton as their own candidate against George.
III the Socialists had opposed him last October it
Is not impossible that Mr.. George might have
pulled through the canvass in better shape and
Occupi I'd at the present moment the mayors
chair filled by Abram s. Hewitt. At any rate,
there can be no question that his proportion OF
the respectable, law-abiding vote would have
been much larger than it was. How the fiat
footed secession OF the socialists at this 1uncture
Will affect his chances In the pending contest cam
not be guessed Everything will depend on
whether the good people who were frightened OF
last fall Will come back TO his support In sufficient
numbers TO MAKE up for the loss OF the querulou3
crew who have deserted him because the new
party preferred to be run by his machine with its
incidental feature OF reputable citizenship rather
than by theirs, which is devoid OF everything Of
the sort.
